a BiBY's STRANGE FATE.
= Mystery OF the Sea Revealed BY
tue Finding Of an Abeione shell,

a special from San Francisco 10 tho
| ST. Louis Gi0b Democrat tells the
following strange story A mystery Of
the sea has been revealed by the find
ing on the beach Mt Half. Moon bay, q
few miles south OF Golden Gate. a
large abelone shell bearing in mother
OF pearl perfect impression Of a baby's
shoe. The story, THOUGH stranger
than fiction, is verified by such
IA mass of evidence that its
truth cannot be doubted. Twenty-six
years ago little girl wandered from its
home on the shore of Half Moon bay
ard was not seen again until four days
afterward, when it, dead body was cast
up by the waves which break over the
adjacent reef. The child was supposed
to have fallen from a rock One OF its
feet was gone, and this was ascribed 10
the vOracIty Of shark or other flesh
eating sea monster. Years PISSED by
and the event was almost forgotten.
Recently one OF the sous Of the old
lady, and mother Of the lost girl, picked
up on the beach a piece of a large
abelone she'll which had been thrown
up by the tide. He was astonished to
find inside the shell perfect represen-
tation of a child's shoe, even 10 the
Little break in the toe where the leather
bad worn away. Every detail was re-
produced in brilliant colors which are
characteristic of the interior OF abelone
shells. The young man carried the
shell home as curiosity.
The first person 10 whom he showed
IL was his mother. No sooner did the
old lady see it than she exclaimed 1T
is my baby's shoe, the shoe Of my lite
girl that was lost twenty-siy years ago."
The rest Of the femily ridiculed the
idea, but che produced the mate to the
shoe. A careful comparison showed
that the time-incrusted shoe in the shell
and the memento of the dead child ere
fully kept by the loving mother through
the years that she had moUrned her little
one, were undoubtedly mates. The mys-
terry OF the child's death was revealedat
last. Any one who knows the nature and
habits Of the abelone eau readily un-
de"stand what occurred. The little one
had yentured out on the re ky reef,
had slipped from the rocks, and her
foot had caught between the rock and
the edge of huge abelone shell. At
once il closed on the ankle, aud the lit.
tie one was prisoner, TO be held until
the rising tide swept over her. Such
cases are not unknown.

The british Embassy nj Paris.

tliy Anglo-Amorican cable TO the Dispatca.l
LONDON, October 21.-The DQiW
Mars SAYS there is reason to believe
that Lord Lyons is about 10 retire from
the British Embassy in Paris in favor
of Lord Lytton. The Nc,cs strongly
protests against the appointment Of
Lord Lytton, saying that the period
during which he held Office as
Goyernor-General of India was the
most disastrous in the history of that de-
tendency. The Nc,cS adds: If Lord
Lytton does not desire 10 retire aud is
being sacrificed to some absurd super
animation idea and red-tapeism, Lord
Salisbury deGei ges the severest censure
that can be passed upon a minister.

FIGHT WITH OUTLAWS.

Or's Gang and VigiIantes.

by telegraph to the Dispatch.l
IuTLE Rock, ARK, October 2l.-A
special TO tine ArkdnSds gazette from
Wawolla indian Territory, ria Musko-
gee this evening, says: On Thursday a
desperate fight took place on the north
fork of the Arkansas river between
Bud Trdinor's gang Of outlaws and a
vigilance committee under the lend
e1ship of Robert Henderson, a
Scotch balf-breed, which followed
them from Duckworth's store, in the
Creek Nation, on the occasion OF the
raid there on Wednesday 1t appears
that the outlaws, finding ont the size
of the force which was following them,
decided b risk gu encounter, and made
haste to reach the river banks where
they could find shelter behind the trees
and in the rayines which line the banks
on either side. In this they succeeded.
so that when the vigilautes came up
they were entirely for time at
the mercy of two score of
men who knew not what mercy
was. Henderson then took his men a
short distance mp theriver, where ford
ing place could be found then eros el
and ookupapos,ion on the otbersle Of
the stream from the outlaws, and where
his men were rs we'll protected rs
those of Trainor's men. The river ut
this point is only about one hun1"cl
feet wide, and across this distance from
Thursday morning until Thursday night
bullets were singing on their mission
Of death. When the vigilantes had
succeeded in this position they found
they had lost three men and two more
were seriously wounded. As Trainor
found the enemy in his rear on the
opposite side of tho liver be sent half
of his men down the stream to
cross and come up on the other
side, lighting under the coyet
Of trees. In this corr dCt0t
they were surprised by the avengers,
who met them half way and opened
fire upon them. checking their course
aud driving them panic-stricken and
precipitately back In endeavoling 10
rally his men Bill Chuett was killed.
ana before the river could be reached
and forded, John Leech, one OF the
robber gang, was shot OIL his horse,
but not killed. The fight from
this on was continued a,ross the
stream, the banks of which were Tired
ut distances OF about five rods apart
with sharpshooters. No sooner was Il
head, arm, or any part of a bodyyislble
on either side than leaden bullet was
seeking to find Judgement there. As
Thursday night was coming on Hen
dorlon called his men in for consUltl-
ton, when it was found that of isforce
eight men were killed outright and eight
others had received serious though not
fatal wounds. The force was in
this way reduced one half, and it va
thought best to remove the wounded
here and 90 back home and stir up re-
iDforcemcnts. 1t is thought as many
Of the outlaws were killed as Of the
pursuing poIty, though this Will never

MEMPHIS, Tenn, October 2l.-The
Western Waterways Convention as
sembled this morning at $3.50, and was
called to order by Judge Clapp, after
which Ex-Governor L. o. Stanard o.
Missouri, permanent chairman, was
installed, and made an able speech.
Pending the retirement of the Com
mittce on Resolutions the convention
was entertained 10y speeches from Judge
Il. S. Taylor, of Indiana, a member
Of the River Commission; judge
prendergast, of Chicago; Hon. f.. G.
Hooker, of Mississippi; Hon. John
Baker, of Illinois, and Colonel W. a.
Percy, of Mississippi. The last-named
gentleman made the speech Of
the day, and occupied two hours
in its delivery, daring which the at
tention Of the convention never tagged.
1t was a powerful presentation OF tue
merits OF river and harbo- bills, aud
the speaker urged the convention TO
stand by that method of legislation at
all hazards, and not to consent to dis
associate the Mississippi river and other
great streams from smaller channels Of
commerce. He insisted that the at
tempt to make a separate measure of
the Mississippi river improvements
would result in q dismal failure. His
remarks seemed to echo the sentiments
Of the convention and will doubtless be
reflected in the report OF the Commit
tee on Resolutions, of which no is a
member.
Resolutions of regret at the sudden
death OF President II. A. Montgomery
OF the Memphis Jockey Club. were
adopted by rising vote.

AsHEvILLE, \. c., October 2l.-The
presidential party arrived here at 1910

the committee of reception. They
were driven up the avenue from the
depot TO PatterY-Park Hotel, and there
the immense procession paused for
view. The mountains in the distance
could not have presented lOveiler
picture than that at which the party
eazed. The elegant grounds of Battery
Park and the beautiful building were
crowded, rs it was known that the Pre-
sident and hispartywould stop there for
few minutes. The procession was
immense. Beside the three scores OF
carriages there were twelve hundred
men on horseback, one hundred and
fifty of whom preceded the President,
and they were aided by the mounted
police. Men from every section OF
Western North Carolina, anxious to
see the first Chief Executive OF the
United States who ever visited Ashe-
vile, were here either on horseback
or on foot. 1t is estimated that there
were fourteen thousand visitors in the
CITY, and of the inhabitants some
six thousand turned out to
see the distinguished guests OF
the occasion. 1t was gala-day for
Asheville. The city had three times as
many people in it as ever before. After
leaving Battery Park the procession
went down Patton avenue, under a tri-
umpbal arch over Main street, and past
the Swannanoa Hotel, which was hand
somely decorated. The President said
. that this was one of the most superb
and enticing mountain views he ever
gazed upon. The city was decorated
in the most elegant style, and every
body was on a holiday. The enthusi,
asm was possibly more pronounced
